maybe but I really like mine ive had two corsas. 1.2 and a gsi and kind of now wonder why I didnt just get a saxo in the first place. Thing that put me off was the pedals but I am used to them now and its fine.
I know mines a vts but it will still handle and look the same as a vtr 
Corsa if you want more space and build quality and looks
Saxo if you want faster and more fun
£1200 notes got mine as it stands

can probably get a good standard mk2 vtr forquite a bit less
How does it feel to know that your £1200 car would more than easily keep up with your CTR round a track/in a straight line?
Well I took it to coombe in april (the CTR) and am taking this in two weeks so I will find out. I already know its quicker then my mates EP3

Thing I dont like about 106/saxos is the constant fear of them breaking, had no worries in my vauxhalls

All mine did was pop a gear linkage off, 10 second fix, so no big deal.
MOT is next week though

id rather have a corsa.. i have a sri 16v stripped bare with afew mods on the engine ie filter. decatt and 3" all the way threw and i manage to keep up with my mates vts.. 0-60 no but 60 - 120 yes.. afyer that i do not know but it also goes into how the driver drives the car..
btw why im on the subject, has anyone off here had a 1.4 16v sri off the clock? clock was reading id say 135 but my mate was alongside in a supra sat at 130... both speedos may be out but it goes very well for what it is...
